Do any of you know what size screw i need to screw in a front plate? The holes (in the front bumper) are there but i can tell they are already threaded. I don't want to "re-thread" the holes by putting in screws that aren't the right size. Feedback Points for anyone who helps!

Well I could do this b/c my plate screws were in the closet right behind me. I don't know how screws are measured (w/ thread sizes, etc...) so I busted out a ruler. I'll just read the dimensions out to you:
diameter of threads: 5 mm (diameter of screw - threads ~ 4mm) length to head: 25mm
and this is the part I can't explain better that this- there is one thread revolution per mm. So for 10 mm along the screw, there will be 10 threads.
That should help you get one at the store. There is also a "4" stamped on the head of the screw. (perhaps refers to the diameter in mm not counting the threads)
Maybe now I'll get the coveted 5 stars
